There was a systematic failure to follow the law and abide by the procedures to spend taxpayer dollars appropriately.

Do you have all the resources that you need to bring back the accountability that taxpayers demand and deserve?

Would it not be fair to ask, has GSA outlived its usefulness as a Federal agency?

This investigation, it has exposed the waste, the fraud, and the abuse that the American people really resent so much.

I have risen many times over the past 3 years to talk about the bad policy choices of the Obama administration and the harmful effects of these policies on our economy and on the American people. In many ways, the President's decisions…

I agree with my colleague from Arizona that there are a number of things that continue to drive up the cost of health care. One of the things I believe should have been included in the health care law--I would think we could actually lower…

President Obama often boasts about oil production he really had nothing to do with. My amendments I am bringing forth today would allow him to be proud of his own record instead of his predecessors, and that is why I ask unanimous consent…

the reason I come to the floor today is to speak on behalf of these two amendments I have filed to S. 2204. A few weeks ago, we learned that oil and gas production on Federal public lands and waters is down. Specifically, we learned there…

I ask unanimous consent to engage in colloquy with a number of my colleagues for the next 30 minutes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. Health Care

how much time remains on our side? The PRESIDING OFFICER. No time remains.

Yes. Mr. McCAIN. Also, we have promised to repeal and replace ObamaCare, depending on not only the Supreme Court decision but the will of the people as expressed, perhaps, next November. Of the areas that I think we have not focused enough…

I come to the floor today, as I have over the last 2 years since the health care law was passed, with a doctor's second opinion. I do that as someone who has practiced medicine and taken care of families across the country--primarily in…

Well, it is. And as neighboring States, South Dakota and Wyoming work closely together and are very similar. The experiences we are having in Wyoming--we now have a Republican Governor but previously had a Democratic Governor--as my…

I rise to speak on the issue that is before us today on the floor of the Senate; that is, the issue of high gas prices. I was at home in Wyoming and filled up again this weekend, as I do most weekends, and today the average price of…

This legislation would convey land currently used as a shooting range to the Powell Recreation District in the State of Wyoming.

I appreciate the BLM being supportive of this land conveyance.

So while you haven't specifically tracked the specific dollar figures in terms of the budgets, the time and the personnel, there is clearly an impact and it does affect other programs.

On behalf of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, Public Lands Council and its affiliates and, most significantly, the over 22,000 families dependent on public land grazing, I urge your support for this legislation.

I have a question about fragmentation.

on the Senate floor this morning Senator Durbin called on Republican Members to offer to give up what he called their Federal health care. I heard his comments, and he makes an interesting argument. But, once again, Democrats in the Senate…

Approximately 35 percent will be forced or attempt to sell their cabins. We estimate 10 to 15 percent will be permanently lost.

I ask unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with my Republican colleagues for 30 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Health Care

when we look at it, even the administration admits that wasn't true. Small businesses--people who get their insurance in small businesses--will have a difficult time continuing to provide coverage for people because of the mandates that…

This bill provides the respective Secretaries with the needed flexibility when reissuing grazing permits.

I stand here with my friend and colleague from Mississippi because he and I both attended, in his home State of Mississippi, a meeting at a hospital where we met with doctors, also met with patients, and met with people from the community…
